The Paradise is the first part of FUNERAL ECSTASY, a series that challenges conventional ideas about finitude. Because ultimately, everything comes to an end, but at the same time, something new always begins. Can we truly accept that everything is impermanent? And is there an alternative approach possible for dealing with the inevitable?
The Paradise makes you aware of the moment and thereby emphasizes the value of every second. In an installation with performers, you are guided by ebb and flow, moving between darkness and light, intensity and calm. The work was developed in close collaboration with the audience.
